Methodology: The quasi-experimental design has been carried out to evaluate the patient's dietary knowledge after recovery from myocardial infarction, in the cardiac outpatient clinic at Al-Diwaniyah teaching hospital for the period from 17th January 2023 to 3th May, 2024. Non probability (purposive) sample of (60) patients were selected who are recovery from myocardial infraction for at least four weeks and they had attended of cardiac outpatient clinics of AL Diwaniyah teaching hospital, the sample was divided into two groups each one consisted of (30) patients as study and control group. The study instrument comprised of (3) parts: Part I- demographical characteristics of the patient which consist of (7) items. Part II- Clinical characteristics data which consists of (3) items and Part III- Patient's Dietary Knowledge which consists of (20) close-ended statements.

Results: Results of the study shows the patient's dietary knowledge at post-test were improved to good dietary patients' knowledge in mean (2.35) regarding study group. While the dietary patients' knowledge at the Pre-Test and Post-Test Measurements for the control group were poor in pre-test (1.62), and post-test (1.61).

Conclusions: The researcher concludes that the educational program was effective in improving the patient's dietary knowledge about DASH diet, and there were statistical significant differences between the study and control group at post-test measurements regarding dietary patients' knowledge at p value <0.05.
